# Calculator⁻ vs SimpleCaclulator

The clearest difference is rating: Calculator⁻ at 4.4 against SimpleCaclulator's 3.8. Calculator⁻ also leads on ratings volume (3.6K vs 9) and device support (3 vs 1). SimpleCaclulator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (67% vs 52%). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Calculator⁻ holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calculator⁻ has 3.6K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Calculator⁻'s written reviews are positive against 67% of SimpleCaclulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
